License update: AI derivation prohibited on all my art, lore, stories, and comics

Artist David Revoy has officially updated the licensing terms for his entire portfolio, including his artwork, lore, stories, and comics. The new policy explicitly prohibits the use of his creative works for training artificial intelligence models or generating derivative content. Revoy, known for his open-source philosophy and the Pepper & Carrot webcomic, stated that this decision is a response to the rapid proliferation of generative AI tools that scrape creative data without consent. By updating his license, he aims to protect his intellectual property from being ingested into datasets used by AI companies. This move highlights the growing tension between independent creators and the AI industry regarding copyright and ethical data usage. Revoy encourages his community to respect these new terms, emphasizing that while he remains committed to open culture, he does not authorize the exploitation of his work for AI-driven automation or model training.
